Gal Gadot in 'Wonder Woman'

Another day, another Wonder Woman box office update. Because you clearly enjoy reading them and thus I enjoy writing them. Wonder Woman earned $4.265 million on Monday, a jump of 39% from last Monday (a lot of folks were out of school and not at work) and just 19% down from Sunday. That was enough to push the film over the $350m mark in just 32 days of domestic release. Now, with a $4.075m Tuesday (+4% from last Tuesday), it has earned $354.6m in 33 days. So it's heading past the $355m mark today. The entire four-film (and counting) DC Films franchise has now passed $3 billion worldwide.

Among all films that have crossed the 350 million domestic milestone, it is the 22nd-fastest, between Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (34 days) and Spider-Man (31 days). Oh, and of the films that took 34 days or less to cross $350m, only Revenge of the Sith ($380m), Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part II ($381m) and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 ($383m and winding down) ended up below $400m domestic. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 took 30 days to pass the milestone and it had $358.1m domestic by the end of its 33rd day of release.

Unless it drops dead starting today (or starting Thursday night at 7 pm), it’ll start pacing ahead of Guardians 2 in the next few days. This means if it doesn’t get plastered by Peter Parker’s new adventure it will probably pass the Walt Disney/MCU sequel to become summer’s biggest domestic grosser. So, it’s got that going for it, and (despite generally strong reviews) I won’t automatically presume Spider-Man: Homecoming or Despicable Me 3 is going to challenge it.

But no matter, at the moment Wonder Woman sits at $354.6 million, or 39th place between Furious 7 ($353m in 2D) and Inside Out ($356m). So, it should end the weekend over/under $368m, or past The Jungle Book and Deadpool and over/under Despicable Me 2 and The Secret Life of Pets. As regular readers know, I began these daily updates using Secret Life of Pets and The Jungle Book as best-case scenario measuring sticks, so that’s out the window with plenty of gas still left in the tank.

In terms of worldwide booty, it has now passed the $709 million-$714 million worldwide totals of The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and Captain America: The Winter Soldier. It has $717.975m plus whatever it made overseas on Monday and Tuesday. Considering all the talk of what a massive hit this is, it still sits a good distance away from Maleficent ($758m), but it should get there (and past The Amazing Spider-Man’s $757m total) by the time it wraps up.

At the very least, it has now passed every Twilight movie except the last one (Breaking Dawn part II made $812 million in 2D back in 2012) and two of the four Hunger Games movies (Mockingjay part I’s $755m is possible, but Mockingjay part II’s $856m is probably not). And if it gets past Deadpool ($783m) and Guardians of the Galaxy ($773m), it’ll be the second-biggest comic book/superhero movie ever sans Batman, Iron Man and Spider-Man behind Guardians 2 ($856m-and-counting).

Wonder Woman isn’t doing the usual 40/60 split, and it has thus far earned 49% of its money in North America. Conspiracy theories about overseas sexism aside, there are a ton of big franchises (Pirates of the Caribbean, Iron Man, Batman Begins, the rebooted Star Trek, Twilight, etc.) that didn’t go big overseas until the sequel. Considering how many would-be biggies have all but flopped in North America (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, Transformers: The Last Knight, The Mummy, etc.), Wonder Woman is a reminder that you shouldn’t have to count on China, Russia and/or Japan to save your butt.

Once it passes Deadpool, Wonder Woman will be the biggest domestic grosser not released by Universal/Comcast Corp. or Walt Disney since Lionsgate's The Hunger Games: Catching Fire in late 2013. It's already Warner Bros./Time Warner Inc.'s biggest North American grosser since The Dark Knight Rises ($448m) in 2012.
